CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0152526 filed on Nov. 25, 2019 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The following description relates to an imaging lens system including eight lenses.

2. Description of Related Art

A small-sized camera may be mounted on a wireless terminal device. For example, a small-sized camera may be mounted on each of a front surface and a rear surface of a wireless terminal device. As such a small-sized camera may be used for various purposes, to obtain images of scenery, indoor portraits, and the like, such a small-sized camera has been required to have performance similar to that of a general camera. However, it may be difficult for a small-sized camera to implement high performance as there may be a limitation in mounting space due to a limited size of a wireless terminal device. Thus, it has been required to develop an imaging lens system which may improve performance of a small-sized camera without increasing a size of a small-sized camera.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. The sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of functions and constructions that would be well known to one of ordinary skill in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an example or embodiment, e.g., as to what an example or embodiment may include or implement, means that at least one example or embodiment exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples and embodiments are not limited thereto.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other ways (for example, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes illustrated in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes illustrated in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

The drawings may not be to scale, and the relative sizes, proportions, and depiction of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.

In the examples, a first lens refers to a lens most adjacent to an object (or a subject), and an eighth lens refers to a lens most adjacent to an imaging plane (or an image sensor). In the examples, a unit of a radius of curvature, a thickness, a TTL (a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane), an 2IMGHT (a diagonal length of an imaging plane), and a focal length are indicated in millimeters (mm).

A thickness of a lens, a gap between lenses, and a TTL refer to a distance of a lens in an optical axis. Also, in the descriptions of a shape of a lens, the configuration in which one surface is convex indicates that an optical axis region of the surface is convex, and the configuration in which one surface is concave indicates that an optical axis region of the surface is concave. Thus, even when it is described that one surface of a lens is convex, an edge of the lens may be concave. Similarly, even when it is described that one surface of a lens is concave, an edge of the lens may be convex.

The imaging lens system may include eight lenses. For example, the imaging lens system may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, disposed in order from an object side. The first to eighth lenses may be disposed with a predetermined gap therebetween. For example, image-side surfaces and object-side surfaces of adjacent lenses are not in contact with each other in a paraxial region. Accordingly, even when an image-side surface of one side lens is in contact with an object-side surface of the other side lens in the diagrams, the image-side surface and the object-side surface of the two lenses are not actually in contact with each other.

In the imaging lens system, the first lens may be the thickest lens. For example, a thickness of the first lens at a center of an optical axis may be greater than a thickness of the other lenses (second to eighth lenses) at a center of an optical axis.

In the imaging lens system, the second lens may be the thinnest lens. For example, a thickness of the second lens at a center of an optical axis may be smaller than a thickness of the other lenses (first lens, and third lens to eighth lens) at a center of an optical axis.

Each of the first to eighth lenses may include an aspherical surface. An aspherical surface of each of the first to eighth lenses may be represented by Equation 1 as below:

$\begin{matrix} {Z = {\frac{cr^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - {\left( {1 + k} \right)c^{2}r^{2}}}} + {Ar}^{4} + {Br}^{6} + {Cr}^{8} + {Dr^{10}} + {Er^{12}} + {Fr^{14}} + {Gr}^{16} + {Hr^{18}} + {J\; r^{20}}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$
